Six-year-olds.
Preparing a child for independent functioning in life starts properly from the first days, from insertion into the little handle of the rattle, from constant stimulation of development, ensuring proper living conditions. A small child, with the help and constant care of adults, masters basic activities. He is learning to walk and talk, he also learns many other necessary activities.
A preschool child constantly perfects recently acquired skills. He is learning to run and jump, accurately throw and catch, dress without parental help, eat with the correct cutlery. In one word, becomes more and more independent. He constantly wants to try and test his skills and strength, to make sure, that it has mastered the action, which yesterday was too difficult for him. She wants to be independent of adults, so he repeats firmly: – it's me! In games, which he leads most often with the participation of only one companion, recreates various scenes and situations observed in its immediate surroundings, improving your efficiency, organizing and extending the acquired knowledge about the world.
The six-year-old is already well aware of the skills, it has, knows about it, that he can do many things well, quickly and without the help of adults. He's proud of it, it gives him real satisfaction. He also begins to compare himself to other children more and more often. He does know, and he agrees with it, that his older colleagues surpass him in many respects, but wants to check, how it compares to peers. So he enjoys racing with them, playing tag, also want to find out, Can he ride a bike faster than others?, on roller skates, skating, on sledge, Does he play serso better than his friends?. Therefore, he tries to take part in various team games and competitions. He understands and respects the applicable regulations. He can wait patiently, until his turn comes. In his thematic plays, he tries to recreate everything in this way, what really happens in life, so they become more and more realistic, RICH. And it is no longer enough to lead them with just one companion. The more children participate in the fun, the more interesting its course becomes, because everyone is different, everyone has to play their role in their own way.
All six-year-olds were covered by compulsory pre-school education. They attend either kindergarten, or to preschool. One year before starting school, they undergo a school maturity test. This is a kind of test, exam, involving not only children, but also parents. They are primarily censured for this, they did their duty to the child well. Have they prepared them properly for the new ones?, serious tasks. Did they provide him with an all-rounder, harmonious development. Have they not neglected or overlooked anything?. And often, unfortunately, this exam is not very successful for parents. Because it turns out, that many children brought up at home have various deficiencies in pre-school education. Some have a hard time adapting to team activities, unable to communicate with colleagues, cooperate in accordance with them. They are self-centered and despotic, they want, so that everyone around them would obey them. Others show deficiencies in manual activities, they draw and paint flawlessly, reluctantly and unskillfully they get down to this work, because there were no suitable conditions for it at home, nor was it encouraged to engage in such activities. Some of them get plasticine or clay in their hands for the first time. So they knead it clumsily, they cannot model the simplest form. They are like that, who only in kindergarten learn to hold scissors properly and cut paper with them. It happens, that a six-year-old child twists words, he says incomprehensibly, affectionately, although he has no speech impediment. If his parents at home paid attention to his pronunciation, corrected errors, would use the same language as his peers. Others cannot dress themselves, tie a scarf, fasten coats. Some are overly bold and resolute, they have a ready answer for everything, they are constantly trying to attract the attention of others, they want, that you only take care of them. They are also fearful, fading into the shadows, afraid to speak up and even answer a question addressed directly to them in monosyllables, although at home they show no inhibitions, they are talkative and easily make contact with different people, also aliens, people.
During a year's stay in a kindergarten or pre-school centre, the previous upbringing neglect must be eliminated and the child should be able to do so, to match the development of their peers. Can't count, that a teacher can do it alone without parental support. So it's worth getting in touch with her, exchange comments and opinions about the child and its development, its advantages and shortcomings, and then 'consult systematically, working hard at home - in accordance with the teacher's recommendations and suggestions – to compensate for existing shortcomings and shortcomings, to properly prepare the child for systematic learning.
In the case of finding any organic developmental defects, it is necessary for the parents to stay in constant contact with a doctor or psychologist conducting re-education, and to strictly follow their instructions and recommendations at home.. From the position of the parents, their relationship with the child, from helping him, depends on the course of the re-education process.
